Objective: Different studies in the last decade have proposed that gene expression alterations that are independent of the DNA sequence may also play an important role in periapical disease. The present study aimed to assess the available evidence supporting a relationship between these alterations and apical periodontitis through a scoping review.

Design: Specific strategies were developed for different databases (MEDLINE via PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, and Virtual Health Library) and a search performed by March 1st, 2019.
